Project at a glance

RAMSES was a European research project which aimed to deliver much needed quantified evidence of the impacts of climate change and the costs and benefits of a wide range of adaptation measures, focusing on cities.

RAMSES engaged with stakeholders to ensure this information was policy relevant and ultimately enabled the design and implementation of adaptation strategies in the EU and beyond.

Scientific reports summarize main findings provided by RAMSES on urban climate science. Each report includes useful information for scholars to advance the state of the art of urban climate science and for policy—makers to apply this knowledge at various scales of implementation.

The RAMSES Transition Handbook is a dissemination, awareness and training tool which support stakeholders in defining the transition of cities towards successful adaptation. The RAMSES Training Package complements the Transition Handbook and operationalises the RAMSES findings into a support mechanism for local decision-making through nine worksheets.

The Newsletters inform you about results and events of the EU research project RAMSES, in order to update relevant stakeholders with the ongoing activities of the RAMSES project.
